The first photo is too dark. You need to normalize the tone response.

Here's an adjustment.

Here's the histograms of your original and this adjusted version.

I like Joe's edit of the first one. The picture itself is a little cluttered for me. Similarly, I think #3 could have worked better with a shallower depth of field to minimize that background and help isolate the cat. I like the composition, though - the cat in profile, framed by the door.

#2 is pretty great - good exposure, focus, depth of field - and that fantastic expression is killing me! Good capture.

Such beautiful cats!

You are so right. It's my problem with B/W. I love so much those old vintage black and white, with a strong contrast and darker tones, so pictures never seem enough dark to me. I have to adjust my eye first, in order to adjust photos.

The picture itself is a little cluttered for me.

I agree. But he was moving, I liked the perspective and no time to make a set. I shoot that in late night so..that's what came out. I hate the stuff on the background.

Similarly, I think #3 could have worked better with a shallower depth of field to minimize that background and help isolate the cat.

Absolutely. I liked the dirty on the glass and the stuff outside, but they're too much in focus. Same as number 1, there was short time. But I really appreciate the critics, it helps me a lot.

Thank you everybody, both for positive and negative feedbacks!

I actually love the homey feel off the composition in the first one with the cat and the clutter and I too like those old black and white pics, in my opinion thats not wrong its a matter of taste.
Second one I love too.
The third one I like too but seems to need something composition wise,Im not sure what.
